Review
”
Exploring Philosophy has been my first choice for years. It is an excellent blend of historical and contemporary readings on the most important issues in philosophy. It also provides a balanced treatment of these controversial issues that allows students to assess them from various perspectives.
Finally, it is far more affordable than its competitors.”–Laurence Carlin,
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh

“This is an excellent anthology. It offers a wide-ranging selection of readings that are expertly edited and therefore accessible to beginning students. In addition, it is, to my knowledge, the most reasonably priced anthology of its kind.”–Brad Rives,
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
